PCMCIA_PCIC_OPTS Parameters for the module i82365. Refer to the
manual page of i82365. If yenta_socket is used, these options are
ignored, because yenta_socket has no options.
Card manager refers to the files /etc/pcmcia/config and /etc/
pcmcia/*.conf for the assignment of drivers to PCMCIA cards. First,
config is read then the *.conf files in alphabetical order. The last entry
found for a card is used. Refer to the manual page of pcmcia for details on
the syntax of these files.
Network Cards (Ethernet, Wireless LAN, and Token Ring)
These can be set up with YaST like normal network cards. Select ‘PCM-
CIA’ as the card type. All other details about setting up the network can be
found in Section 21.4 on page 439. Read the notes there about hotpluggable
cards.
ISDN
Even for ISDN PC cards, configuration is done to a large extent using YaST,
as with other ISDN cards. It is not important which PCMCIA card offered
there is chosen, but only that it is a PCMCIA card. When setting up hard-
ware and provider, make sure the operating mode is set to hotplug and
not to onboot.
ISDN modems also exist for PCMCIA cards. These are modem cards or
multifunction cards with an additional ISDN connection kit. They are
treated like an ordinary modem.
Modem
For modem PC cards, there are normally no PCMCIA-specific settings. As
soon as a modem is inserted, it is available under /dev/modem.
There are also “soft modems” for PCMCIA cards. As a rule, these are not
supported. If there is a driver, it must be individually integrated into the
system.
